Currently page set at 760px wide for various reasons with fixed text at about 12px.

Contents table is issue for printing as it is wider than A4.

Contents table contains - left cell containing a nav menu which is a table - right cell with contents but

At the moment the left contents cell is fixed 132px wide as is the nav table inside it.

What I want is to use CSS to make the left cell and navigation dissapear on printing. I have followed various examples using divs that do this but want to apply this to a tables layout.

I can remove the fixed width of the left contents cell such that the menu table itself pushes the cell apart, if I can then get the menu table to dissapear on print then the left contents cell should compress to zero which is what I am after.

Any tips will be much appreciated.

Plus happy new year everyone, been away and not posted since last year.

IE5.5 Works a dream should sort most visitors. Expect IE6 will be the same but dont have it on a machine at the moment. Opera 6.05 looks fine - other issue print page footer awful. NN4.7 fails miserably in (to be expected :-) NN7 the css print media part works but there are other "text dissapearing under images" problems which I don't like the look of.

After reading about in here I decided to include the print media statements in the one css file rather than link to two or import one extra. Seems cleaner to me.

However I would like to change the width of a footer table which only contains text from 760px on screen to 100% on print.. I guess I can work out how to do that myself now pretty easily.

The opera print page footer issue I think is because I am doing print preview on a laptop on which no printers are set up so It has no margin information to work to.

The NN7 "text dissapearing under images" I think is a new issue as I used to have this with nn4.7 as a result of bad coding, nn7 seems to be ignoring table cell widths or paragraph formatting from the css.

nn4.7 I did not expect to work and am not that bothered as it will almost certainly not be used by target site visitors.
